Ready to go fishing in Galveston? Katie's Red Tide is here to make it happen! Captain Ricky and the incredible fishing machine Red Tide make these fishing excursions a trip to remember for a long time!

Captain Ricky specializes in family-oriented trips and loves to take children fishing. He has vast historical knowledge of the Galveston waters, making your adventure fun and educational.

These waters are known for Lane Snapper, Almaco Jack, Redfish, Gag Grouper, Red Snapper, Cobia, Amberjack, Jack Crevalle, Kingfish, Great Barracuda, and more. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

You'll be dropping lines from a 42' Invincible Center console with space for 6 passengers. It has triple 350 HP Suzuki engines. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter. Live bait is included.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Both Captain and Mates work hard for tips, and it's customary to offer them a 18-20% tip. Anyone 17 years and older will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's never a bad idea to bring snacks, drinks, a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Galveston aboard the Red Tide!

You can select from a variety of packages, depending on what you want to target and how far offshore you want to go. The fishing license is not included in the price of the trip and neither is the fuel. To give you an idea of how much the fuel may cost, have a look here:

20-mile trip from 100 to 125 gallons
30-mile trip from 125 to 150 gallons
50 plus miles from 180 to 200 gallons

The pricing can vary, but it now stands at $3.00 per gallon.

    great fishing

    Half Day Trip – Bay/Jetty (AM) on July 22, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Went on the trip with my 10 year old daughter and had a blast. We caught a lot of fish and got a good restaurant recommendation to cook our catch. We’re already planning our next fishing trip.

    Great Last Minute Trip.

    Half Day Trip – Bay/Jetty (AM) on August 8, 2025 • 5 adults

    I decided to take a last-minute trip with the family before school started. The captain seen that I had a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old boy on the boat and asked me if I wanted to go shark fishing. I said why not let’s see what these boys are made of.. needless to say we landed around 15 sharks. What made the trip even funner was when we first started we stopped off and fished for bait for 30 minutes and caught about 75 sand trout.. This was a blast for them as well. I would definitely recommend Circle H.

    GO-TO GUIDE!

    Half Day Trip – Bay/Jetty (AM) on September 20, 2025 • 6 adults

    We had an unforgettable day on the water. Ricky was friendly, patient, and clearly knew the area inside and out—he worked hard to put us on fish and it paid off. We were the only group on the water catching anything that day, and it made the experience even more special. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a successful and fun fishing trip!

    Deep Sea fishing

    8-10 hour Offshore Fishing Trip on July 4, 2024 • 6 adults

    Had an amazing time and my dad's first time deep sea fishing. Captain Ricky and mate Danny did an awesome job. Ricky knows what he's doing and we maxed out on our red snapper fish. Will definitely look again!

First time fishing in the Gulf.
Half Day Trip – Bay/Jetty (AM) on August 8, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

First time out on water that wasn't a creek or a pond. One adult and ages 17, 16, 13, 13, and 9. It was a great experience for all of us fishing around the jetty area and looking forward to going out to the open water next time. The Captain and 1st mate were great.
